Yeah, Aric tried to grab Lemmo’s hand that isn’t there. he wasn’t grabbing his own hand. The shock was partially from not having the hand there to grab, as PolleN112 pointed out. :P
Lemmo actually saying they need a plan is the other part of the shock lol.
@NoriMori
The reason He tried to grab his hand is because he wanted to stop Lemmo from walking so he can talk to him about making a “plan”, and for what reason one is needed.
Aric was shocked that Lemmo wanted to come up with a plan. In his shock he forgot about Lemmo not having a hand, and tried to grab it. Then he brought his other hand out, probably either to try to recover from the awkwardness by making it look like he wasn’t reaching for Lemmo’s non-hand, or because he still hadn’t remembered Lemmo’s handlessness and was checking to make sure there really was no hand. Then the last panel happened,
Also, this strip makes the title of itself DOUBLY meaningful. Lemm’s hand was difficult to grasp for Aric, and the concept of what is going on in the strip is difficult to grasp the first time you look at it.

Did Aric just remold his own hand?

It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel somewhat concerned

Yeah, call me dense, but I missed it too :D

Mostly, I’m pretty sure he’s just bothered that Lemmo wants to plan something, instead of just improvising madly.

That’s Gotta get annoying for amputees. People trying to grab what isn’t there I mean.

Unfortunately that wasn’t me. My meter has resolutely remained at “No Clue”.

Okay…I guess I get it now. I don’t think it was very well-executed though. -.-

Wow, Lemmo’s hair has reaaally gotten long compared to how it started. I blame it on the shovel beam.
